Application filed Decembe 29, 1913. 7 Serial na'soasa Specificationof Letters Patent, Patented Sept. 1, 1914- An object of the present lnvention is to provide a whippingmachine which'wlll be easy to clean and easily maintained in a I jlng rim 8 which extendsfdown over the s1de walls of the containing vessel and is proclean condition.

A further object is to PIOVldQ a mach lne of the class named in which the .revolvlng beater is removably and detachably held in place and is not connected tothe lid or to the containing vessel so that the lid and its actuating handle and gear may be removed independently of theirotating beater.

- A further object is to provide a containing vessel with a beveled or tapering lower portion so that the outlying portions of the rotating beater will approach closelyto the sidewalls ofthe vessel.

A-furtherobject is to provide a resilient rotating beater which will ext-end above the top of the containing vessel when the cover is removed, allowing for the end of the beater to be placed in itsbearing prior to the attachment of the lid to the containing vessel thus facilitating the assembling of the parts.

With the foregoing and other ob e cts, 1nj view which will appear as the descrlptlon proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. In the drawings accompanying this specification and forming a part thereof, the preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated, in which Figure 1 is a sectional view in elevation of my improved whipping machine. Fig. 2 is a sectional View taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of a portion of the beater and disclosing the manner in which the coils are formed.

Referring to the drawingsin which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,

4 designates a cylindrical containing vessel and whlch is provided at 1ts lower portion with the frusto-conical extremity v5 across lwhich extends the 'closing'bottom 6; "The seam ,betweemthe main body portion 4: of

the containing vessel and the frusto-conical extremity 1s sformeduexternally thereof so. that the interior will? present a smooth and unbroken surface providingfor the ready cleansing thereof.

The lid 7 is provided withthe overhangthe lid may be securely locked in position upon the vessel. The lid is provided with "the tube-like bearing 11 extending centrally therethrough and which projects above and below the lid and isdisposed substantially in alinementwith the bearing 12 which is carried by and positioned central of the bottom 6. mounted within the bearings 11 and 12 is the rotating heater 1?) which is provided at ts upper portion with thegear 1st and which gear contacts with the lower extremity of the tube-like bearing 11 and holds the lower extremity ofthe beater in position in the bearing 12. I

The lid 7 is provided with the slot 15 which extends parallel to a diametric 'line and through whichextends agear 16. The gear 16 is supported by a shaft 17, the outer extremity of which is bent in the form of a handle asat 18. The shaft 17 is rotatably supported by the bearing 19 which is rigidly secured to and carried by the lid 7. The shaft 17 is disposed at an angle to the lid 7 so that the gear 16 will also be disposed at an angle to the axis of the rotating beater which will provide for a ready and quick engagement between the teeth of the gears 14 and 16. Thus whenthe lid is brought down upon the vessel with the'rotating. beater properly positioned in the bearing,

14 is provided and may be varied accordingv to the class of service in which the heater is to be employed.

Fitting between and rotatably The rotating beater 13 is formed of resilient wires and is bent into a plurality of outstanding coils 20 so that the entire beater will be longitudinally expansible and compressible. This desirable feature provides that when the lid is removed, the beater will expand in a longitudinal direction and will force the end 21 thereof which acts in the capacity of a stub shaft, above and beyond the top of the vessel 4 so that it will engage the tube-like bearing 11 prior to the fitting of the lid upon the vessel which provides for the easy assemblage of the parts. VVhen the lid is positioned upon the vessel with the trunnion 21 located within the bearing 11, the tube-like bearing will contact with the gear 14 and tend to compress the entire beater which will'hold the lower trunnion 22 thereof securely and at the same time rotatably within the lower bearing 12. v

The disposing of the gear 14 within the to be removed independent of the rotating beaterso that the lid may be independently cleaned and replaced. The same remarks apply to the beater provided that the lid has been first removed and which thus al-v lows the three separate parts to be independently cleaned and thus rendering-the device easy to clean and maintain in such condition. The lower frusto-conical portion 5 of the vessel is of importance when a certain class of material is being whipped as the loops extend adjacent the side walls of this portion and provide for the beating and treating of such material as may be disposed within said lower portion.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is i p 1. A beater comprising a plurality of coils including outstanding loops and with the upper and lower extremities thereof bent into longitudinal alinement and forming trunnions for the rotatable mounting of the beater, the said beater being longitudinally expansible and contractible.

2. A beater comprising a plurality of superimposed distichous coils connected at their inner extremities, each coil narrowing or tapering toward the inner extremity which is the axis of'the' beater, said heater being longitudinally expansible and contractible and of substantially constant width throughout a large range of contraction and expansion.

3. A beater comprising a plurality of coils connected at their inner extremities, said beater being longitudinally expansible and contractible and of substantially constant width throughout a large range of contraction and expansion. vessel thus allows the lid with. the gear 16 4. An apparatus of the class described,

comprising a receptacle, a bearing carried by the bottom thereof,-a detachable lid with a bearing therein, and a longitudinally expansible and contractible beater positioned within said receptacle engaging the bear- ;ings of the lid and bottom, the normal longitudinal length otsaid beater being relatively greater than the distance between said :bearings, providingfor the securement ot' the beater within the bearings prior to the engagement of the receptacle by the lid.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in-the presence of two witnesses. I
